"@PGAofAustralia: Read why @joshgearygolf is one to watch at #NZPGA - Well deserved Gez! @heavenglobal @BradHeaven

Smail also enters this week in good form; he finished just one shot behind Cullen at the Indonesia Open. A five time winner on the Japan Golf Tour and two time winner on the PGA Tour of Australasia this could be the start of a resurgence in Smail’s career. Smail has won his National Open but is yet to claim the NZ PGA Championship, he will be aiming to do that this week with the entire country cheering him on.
